Tuchel’s men sit at the summit of the league standings with a two-point cushion over Manchester City who reclaimed second place courtesy of a 2-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday.
Manchester United walked away with a well-earned point on their travels to the English capital with Michael Carrick’s side holding Chelsea to a 1-1 affair which prevented the latter from extending their lead at the top.
Thiago Silva has been one of the influential performers under Tuchel’s charge and the veteran Brazil international was all praises for the Blues gaffer in an interview with the club’s official website.
“He’s a manager who works really hard, particularly on the tactical side, thinking about attacking shapes. He’s someone who always thinks about winning, so in order to do that he needs to think about different attacking plans to put in place out on the pitch.
“It’s interesting to see because the way he prepares us we put into practice everything that we train with him, and at the moment it’s all coming off. It’s unbelievable all that he’s putting in place to make sure that we’re in the best condition to win.”
